Strongly agree

No, incentivise private companies to address this issue instead

The Liberal Party generally supports private sector involvement in healthcare and would likely agree with incentivizing private companies to address mental health issues. For example, they have supported private health insurance reforms and encouraged competition among private healthcare providers to improve the quality and affordability of healthcare services.

Agree

Yes, our mental healthcare system needs more funding to provide a higher quality of care and services

The Liberal Party would likely agree with this statement to some extent, as they have acknowledged the need for improvements in mental healthcare. For example, in 2019, they announced a AUD 503 million Youth Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Plan, which aimed to improve access to mental health services and support for young Australians.

Agree

Yes

The Australian Liberal Party has shown some support for increasing funding for mental health research and treatment, but it is not their primary focus. For example, in the 2019-2020 budget, they allocated an additional AUD 736 million for mental health services, but this is a relatively small portion of their overall healthcare budget.

Slightly agree

Yes, but only increase funding for personalised care instead of subsidising pharmaceutical companies

While the Liberal Party may not be strongly opposed to increasing funding for personalized care, their focus on private sector involvement and other healthcare priorities suggests that this would not be their primary approach to addressing mental health issues. There is limited evidence of the party specifically advocating for personalized care over subsidizing pharmaceutical companies.

Disagree

No

The Liberal Party is not strongly against increasing funding for mental health research and treatment, but they tend to prioritize other areas of healthcare and prefer private sector involvement.
